She's the Boss Applesauce-2

I just went to my work's Christmas party 
I got drunk on some rum with Bacardi 
Told my boss, to go get lost 
Said, "I'm the boss, Applesauce" 
Then, she fired me for being a smarty 

I went home, told my wife, I retired 
She said, "don't lie...I know you were fired" 
Said, Applesauce...I'm the boss 
Never tell me...to get lost 
Now go back- 'cause you've just been rehired

Yep, you can really get into trouble at those holiday parties, especially if you imbibe too much Bacardi. Good one, Charles.
